You can sign up for Bitrise either via an email address or by authenticating yourself with your GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab account. Signing up using a Git provider account brings some practical benefits, like logging in with one click and of course you won’t have to authorize your Git account when adding repositories hosted by these providers again.

If all went well, you’re landed on your Bitrise Dashboard where you can view the Workspace’s apps! If you go to your Account Settings, you will see the Workspace you’ve just joined.

In this section:

A Workspace is an environment that allows you to manage your Bitrise apps and the team members working on the apps. You can create multiple Workspaces, and you can be invited to Workspaces by other Bitrise users. To be able to add apps and run builds, you either need to be part of a Workspace, or you have to be an outside contributor on an app's team.

An app on Bitrise represents a Git repository that stores source code and has been connected to Bitrise to be able to run builds on it. As such, a Bitrise app isn't necessarily an actual application: it's just the code on which you run builds with Bitrise.
